Works for Keratosis!!!

Skeptical as I was, I purchased this pricey lotion. I used it for one week straight, and repeatedly kept running my hands down the back of my arms, not sure if it was working or not. What sealed my 5 star rating was my husband commenting "The backs of your arms are smooth! That lotion must be working." Three weeks in, and I have nearly flawless arms. While I understand this is not a permanent fix, I am now a lifetime subscriber. Never discontinue this product! I would cry.

Works for body acne!

It treats my back acne and smooths out 2 dry rough patches I have on my back. It also evens out the skin there as well. This product is the only thing I've found that truly works for body acne. I've also used this on my face. It's a bit too drying so I'll just stick with the Clear regular strength solution for now. Overall, great product!

ooh la la!!!!!

I use this on my face everyday. My skin has never felt softer and my blemishes have really diminished. My husband couldn't believe my skin in such a short time, Now he's stealing it from me and loving it too. My causing just ordered for the first time and bought this. I love Paulas body products because I dont have a lot of money to spend on skincare and you get a lot of product for your money. Thanks Paula for the great body products that I can also use on my face...

Just purchased a third bottle!

I love to use this on my face and body! I was neutral about the smell at first, but eventually grew to like the smell. This has helped shrink the acne size on my back (which I am very happy about), but they are not gone completely. I wonder what more could be done to get rid of the acne completely.
Overall, thanks Paula's Choice!

Amazing!!

This lotion has made such a difference in the tone and softness of my skin. My chest has such bad sun damage and with one month of regular use, the skin on my chest looks and feels 10 yrs younger. It is plumper, and less lined. I cant live without it!!

Disappointed, didn't work!

From the rave reviews and the prospect at ridding my KP once and for all made me very excited to use this product. I used it religiously every day for three weeks and have seen no change in my KP at all... I know it takes time to see results, but after three weeks I expected at least something? It must be a sign that this lotion does not work for me and my search for my miracle lotion continues...

It delivers as promised.

Tried this after the AHA Body Lotion was not making the difference I expected. This is the stuff for my KP on legs and arms. The BHA took less than a week to make the skin on my legs smoother and the KP bumps less prominent, itchy, and red. The AHA, with the same application of BHA, twice a day just did not make an impact on my stubborn KP. Used the whole AHA Tube and it was 50% cleared. The BHA with the same application and my KP cleared 99% in less than a week. The BHA's by PC are just great!

My favorite body treatment

I have no bad things to say about this product except I wish I could purchase it a gallon at a time! I use it 4-5 times a week and it keeps my skin smooth and blemish free (I only use on my body). It'd also is THE answer for razor bumps! I have normal skin on my body but get the occasional small bump and this clears it right up. LOVE!

Great Stuff

So far I really like this product. I pair it with the Resist Retinol Skim Smoothing Body Treatment. I live the size and packaging design makes for easy application. I need to use a little longer to truly see results.

Great for removing bumps

This product has done a great job at smoothing my skin and the bumps from KP have vanished, however this product has not helped with the redness. Any suggestions on products to try to relieve the redness along with the bumps?

Customer Service Response

Replied on: Wednesday, November 05, 2014

Hello, and thanks for the question! For the redness, you might want to consider Clinical Advanced Redness Relief, or, depending on your skin type, one of the moisturizers or the toner from our Skin Recovery line.

Good for body acne

The texture of this product is cosmetically elegant; its light weight and silky. I use this product in conjunction with PC's 4% SA weekly treatment or 2% SA toner on my body to help battle body acne. While 4% SA can be a bit trying on the skin, this body lotion helps to relieve that dryness.

Worth SIX Star!

I wished there was a six star option. This product is genius. It cured acnes on my back and I can feel the skin is getting soft and silky. My back acne started at least ten years ago and I tried many ways but failed. Now something finally worked!

Ah amazing!

This is the BEST lotion ever! I have psoriasis, and the past 5 years developed keratosis pilaris of the upper back and shoulders. It usually gets worse around that time of month, plus I'm in my late thirties probably struggling with changing hormones. Since using the bha liquid followed by this lotion, my psoriasis is very minimal and keratosis pilaris/acne GONE! I would suggest giving these products time to work. Mine healed very quickly, but others may take longer. Stick with it!

YES! Buy it NOW!

I have had keratosis pilaris on my upper arms my entire life & am getting married next year... which of course I've been stressing out about a dress to cover my upper arms. Now, I don't have to worry! This stuff is magical! It did take me about 10-14 days to see results but now my arms are beautiful! So grateful for this product!

Nothing comes close to this product!

I have struggled with keratosis pilaris on my upper arms for years along with very mild acne on my chest etc. and I had always longed for smooth skin in those exposed areas. This product has become my holy grail. I have tried so many things in the past to treat these issues and nothing has come close to this product. I use it after I shower and that's it; it keeps my skin balanced and smooth! Thank you Paula. This lotion is a life saver.

Great product!

For 25 years, I thought that I could only resolve KP with sun exposure, and decided to live with it instead of risk skin cancer. This product proves otherwise! After a month of consistent daily use, my KP is much reduced and my skin is smooth. Highly recommended!

Better than BP for face

I do not have KP - I purchased this treatment for mild facial breakouts.
RESIST 2%BHA seems to work better than BP for facial use - I noticed my skin isn't dry/irritated, my skin looks calm and less oily too! I LOVE this as a makeup primer, my powder foundation looks very smooth and has an air brushed effect. My makeup stays on longer. My skin doesn't look oily. Makeup looks fabulous. HG status!!

I can't live without it

I just have to get on here and give it the best review. I have been suffering from keratosis polaris my entire life! I went to the doctor and got a prescription a few years back and I was putting lactate on my skin! Ewww not to mention all the animal testing that goes on. I recently found this product from a youtuber and in the past few months, my kp has gotten so much better! Not perfect, but I'm okay with less than perfect skin. Thank you so much paulas choice!

Great Results!

I have been using this product for the past 3 months and it works great! I apply it on my chest, back, and shoulders and have noticed significantly clearer and softer skin. I get the rare breakouts on occasion but nothing compared to what I used to have. It smells clean and fresh and works great as a lotion for areas that need it. Love this product and will buy more.

What makes this product unique?Resist Weightless Body Treatment is truly a one-of-a-kind product! This anti-aging body lotion contains an effective amount of salicylic acid (BHA) formulated at a pH range (3.5-3.9) that allows the BHA to have superior exfoliating properties. As a result, it works to soften rough, bumpy areas, ease dryness, help clear breakouts from the neck down, stimulate collagen production and banish dullness for improved skin tone. This silky, lightweight moisturizer sets to a soft matte finish and is packed with proven antioxidants and potent anti-irritants to keep skin youthful and healthy. This specialized body product will reveal younger-looking skin with a renewed firmness, refined texture and fewer discolorations from sun damage.

Who is this product for?Resist Weightless Body Treatment is great for anyone who is prone to breakouts or struggling with signs of aging anywhere on their body. It is also extremely effective at relieving red bumps and rough areas on the body (keratosis pilaris). This silky body lotion also works to improve skin tone and texture, both of which contribute to a more youthful look.

NOTE: Those allergic to aspirin (acetylsalicylate) should not use products containing salicylic acid (beta hydroxy acid).

Sources to support the claims made for Resist Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA

DIRECTIONS: Apply a small amount to clean skin. May be used daily for all-over smoothing, or applied as a spot treatment where needed. Apply this treatment first when using with an additional moisturizer. For daytime, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 25 or greater.

When properly formulated, both AHAs and BHA are brilliant options for exfoliating the surface of skin. You do not need to use both, but some people like alternating. Both AHA and BHA work to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen, and firm skin but each has its special qualities you'll want to consider when deciding which one to use:

AHAs are preferred for sun-damaged and dry skin because they exfoliate on the surface of skin and have the added benefit of also improving moisture content.

BHA is preferred for oily, acne-prone skin and for treating blackheads and white bumps because BHA can get through the oil that's clogging your pores, normalizing the lining of the misshapen pore that contributes to acne.

BHA has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial action. Those are two more reasons to use a BHA exfoliant if you have acne or sensitive, reddened skin.

Both AHA and BHA work to fight keratosis pilaris ("chicken skin") but BHA has the advantage due to its ability to penetrate the pore lining where these raised, red bumps begin.

If your skin is sun-damaged and you're also struggling with acne or clogged pores, add a BHA product to your routine.

The primary difference is with the base formula. The lotion base of Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA is silky and lightweight yet hydrating, and it contains several anti-aging ingredients to help skin from the neck down look and act younger. Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid, Gel, and 2% Beta Hydroxy Acid Lotion contains the same percentage of salicylic acid, but in different bases designed to work with other facial-care products.

There is no reason not to try and see if this works for you and you can always ask the physician who gave you the prescription their opinion. Renova and Retin-A have a completely different benefit for skin than BHA does but both are excellent for anti-aging skincare. BHA exfoliates built up dead skin cells on the surface of skin and in the pore, while the active ingredient in Retin-A and Renova is a cell communicating ingredient that improves the way skin cells are made in the lower layers of skin.
